Improve performance to the cloud

We’ve been able to take advantage of the scalability and cost savings of cloud, without having to sacrifice performance as a result. - Chris Uusimaki ICT Manager, AllightSykesRead the customer story &gt

With more applications transitioning to the cloud - public, private, SaaS - the hybrid cloud is a permanent part of the enterprise.

Ensuring applications perform as guaranteed remains critical, but the hybrid WAN faces performance limitations inherent in networks and applications – bandwidth constraints, latency, and competition among applications. In the cloud, a lack of visibility and loss of control over often complex deployments can further challenge IT.

SteelHead CX for cloud helps IT to embrace the flexibility, scalability and cost benefits of the cloud - while protecting and enhancing application performance. SteelHead delivers comprehensive cloud solutions for IAAS, PAAS and SAAS for public, private and hybrid cloud environments.

As we were going to have users from all of our Australian offices accessing the data nationally, it was a no-brainer for us to leverage the rest of our Riverbed investment and opt for SteelHead’s cloud version, SteelHead CX for Microsoft Azure, to optimise all our documents going in and out of the cloud. - Sam Mannix, Business Engagement and Architecture Manager, RSMRead the customer story &gt

We find using the cloud for access anywhere, anytime better fits our model. - Beverly Maestas, VP of Technology Operations, CenterPoint PropertiesRead the customer story &gt
